IT’S A NEW DAY
March 16, 2022

Prayer: My Lord, You are my Deliverer. There is no one higher or greater than You. You are the beginning and end. Time is in Your hands. I am humbled to serve the all-knowing God. I am grateful that You have a plan for my life, and You provide a way of escape from the enemy’s schemes. Thank you Jehovah-nissi for arising and fighting for me. Amen

Scripture: During the last watch of the night, the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward it, and the Lord swept them into the sea. Exodus 14: 24, 27 NIV

Picture this. You have finally gotten the breakthrough you have been praying and patiently waiting for. Then just when you are ready to blow up balloons for a praise party, the devil comes with a tack and bursts your plans. Suddenly your day of breakthrough comes to a screeching halt. What do you do now? Should you go back to your old ways? Should you throw a pity party and mumble, “I should have known this would not last.”

No! You do exactly what the Lord commanded Moses and the children of Israel to do, “Tell the children of Israel to go forward” (Exodus 14:15). Apply this to every area of your life. Do not stop moving and start complaining at your “Red Sea” moments. Go forth boldly knowing that your Heavenly Father is the God who parts the Red Sea. He is the God who troubles what is troubling you (Exodus 14:24). He is the God who breaks whatever method the devil is using to chase you (Exodus 14:25). He is the God who swallows your trouble in the Red Sea. So, go forward in faith and watch our Lord and Deliverer fight on your behalf!
